More Arrests i'm Connection with the
Cincinnati Bank Collapse.

Controller OF the Currency Trenholm reached Gin
cfnnati yesterday and took personal charge OF the
Fidelity National Bank, making an entire change
in the force OF clerks. Dispatches state that some
grossly fraudulent transactions were discovered
more outrageous than anything previously found,
and E L. Harper was in consequence held pris-
oner in the safe deposit vault guards being placed
at the top OF the staircase to prevent his escape
His lunch was conveyed to him in the vault.
Shortly after O'Clock in the afternoon Marshal
Urner and Commissioner Hooper consulted with
the Controller, and soon after arrested j. w. WILL
shire and brought him in. Wiltshire is not COM
mun1cative, and is very much cast down. He dis
claims any knowledge Of the financial condition at
the Fidelity. 1t is learned that Wiltshire had
under his control railroad and other securities
amounting to over 81, ,OOO, 600, and the owners
were anxious In regard TO them.

Controller Trenholm said that the examination
OF the bank last January showed everything to be
in proper condition. He added that owing to lack
OF appropriation he was compelled to depend on
local examiners for additional examinations, and
these are not expected to be able to always cope
with the adopts in financiering who usually con-
troll such catastrOpheS as these. No statement Of
the assets and liabilities OF the bank can be made
until the receiver has made his examination. The
Fidelity Bank was the reserve for eighty country
banks He said that the Controller OF the Cur
rency had no control over criminal proceedings

accounts OF eight country banks, and that its
Indebtedness to other banks was very large. This

Mrs. Cleveland said, in Aurora, N. T., that she
would probably be able to accept the invitation
visit some Michigan friends when the President
goes to St. Louis next September. She explained
that she had been desrous OF visiting her relatives
In jackson for long time, and would have done
SO in the Presidents company some time ago but
for the fact that the latters relations with Repre-
sentative O'Donnell would make such visit rather
unpleasant. She said that they would surely go to
St. Louis, and extend their trip to Kansas City at
least She will precede the President to Jackson,
and then together they will visit Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Chicago, Milwaukee and a few other
western cities.
